"Many top federal law enforcement officials including James Comey – and it appears Robert Mueller as well – are willing to engage in illegal acts to win convictions,” she stressed. “They convince themselves or believe that someone is guilty of something, and then the end of obtaining any kind of conviction justifies whatever needs to be done to get that conviction.”

She continued: “Bharara, Comey, and Mueller – all three are far too political and have great powers of rationalization. Some have called them ‘Dirty Cops.’”

Mueller is a total hypocrite. Looks like he is the one who should be investigated!

this weeks bombshell that dossier was funded by DNC and Clinton campaign has Republicans asking to what extent the FBI – which received some of the findings and briefly agreed to pay the same researcher to gather intelligence on Trump and Russia – used the politically connected material.

Hill investigators also are looking into a Russian firm’s uranium deal that was approved by the Obama administration in 2010 despite reports that the FBI – then led by Mueller – had evidence of bribery involving a subsidiary of that firm.

Critics question whether Mueller’s own ties to the bureau as well as fired FBI director James Comey now render him compromised as he investigates allegations of Russian meddling and collusion with Trump officials in the 2016 race.

the "sealed" indictment(s) appear to be to distract away from mueller himself and comey ... What a cluster mess

George Papadopolous, a former campaign foreign policy advisor, pleaded guilty to lying to FBI investigators over his contacts last year with an unnamed Russian professor with close ties to the Russian government who offered “dirt” on Hillary Rodham Clinton and with a woman the professor identified as “Putin’s niece”.

The special counsel, Robert Mueller, also charged Trump’s former campaign manager Paul Manafort, and another senior campaign operative, Rick Gates, with money laundering, tax evasion and failing to register as agents of foreign interests.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Special Counselor Robert Mueller’s case is in danger of being thrown out of court when the FBI is forced to admit FISA court authority to conduct electronic surveillance on former Trump campaign Paul Manafort was based on the fraudulent Fusion GPS “Russia dossier” that the FBI, the Clinton campaign, and the Democratic National Committee paid to be produced.

Burisma, a private oil and gas company in Ukraine, announced this week that it has appointed Hunter Biden, the youngest son of US Vice President Joe Biden, to its board of directors.

The company, founded in 2002, is controlled by a former energy official in the government of deposed Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych.

The move has raised some eyebrows in the US, given the Obama administration's attempts to manage the ongoing crisis in Ukraine.

"Joe Biden has been the White House's go-to guy during the Ukraine crisis, touring former Soviet republics and reassuring their concerned leaders," writes the National Journal's Marina Koren. "And now, he's not the only Biden involved in the region."

Meanwhile, in a more surprising development, also on Monday the head of the famous, Democrat-leaning lobby organization, the Podesta Group, Tony Podesta - who is brother of Clinton campaign chair John Podesta - announced unexpectedly he would be departing the Podesta Group.

While it is unclear what prompted the departure, now that Ukraine is in everyone's cross-sights, and considering that both Manafort and Gates worked for Podesta at the time when the bulk of their alleged crimes took place, it is perhaps not entirely surprising that next to fall under the microscope would be the Podesta Group, and perhaps - eventually - the Clinton Foundation whose number 1 donor, as the WSJ disclosed last year, was... Ukraine.

GATES aided MANAFORT in obtaining money from these offshore accounts, which he was instrumental in opening. Like MANAFORT, GATES used money from these offshore accounts to pay for his personal expenses, including his mortgage, children's tuition, and interior decorating of his Virginia residence.

6. In total, more than $75,000,000 flowed through the offshore accounts. MANAFORT laundered more than $18,000,000, which was used by him to buy property, goods, and services in the United States, income that he concealed from the United States Treasury, the Department of Justice, and others. GATES transferred more than $3,000,000 from the offshore accounts to other accounts that he controlled.

9. In 2005, MANAFORT and another partner created Davis Manafort Partners, Inc. (DMP) toengage principally in political consulting. DMP had staff in the United States, Ukraine, and Russia. In 2011, MANAFORT created DMP International, LLC (DMI) to engage in work for foreign clients, in particular political consulting, lobhying, and public relations for the Government of Ukraine, the Party of Regions, and members of the Party of Regions.

Mueller and his scumbag colluders announced this failed indictment on Manafort that has nothing to do with Russian collusion in election or Trump, to distract from the REAL RUSSIAN COLLUSION TIES OF CLINTON , PODESTA, AND URANIUM ONE THAT ARE IN THE NEWS. THEY WERE DESPERATE TO CHANGE THE NEWS CYCLE. MUELLER IS SO OUTED AS COVERING FOR CLINTON, COMEY, ETC, HE WILL NEVER BE TRUSTED AGAIN! TO GO ANY FURTHER IS JUST GOING TO DISCREDIT HIM FURTHER!

Mr. Papadopoulos was previously an analyst and research fellow/associate at the Hudson Institute in Washington D.C. His research predominantly focused on the geopolitics and energy security changes of both the Caspian and Eastern Mediterranean and their impact on U.S. strategy. Mr. Papadopoulos designed the first ever project in Washington, D.C. think tank history on U.S., Greece, Cyprus and Israel relations at a symposium entitled "Power Shifts in the Eastern Mediterranean: The Emerging Strategic Relationship of Israel, Greece, and Cyprus." Mr. Papadopoulos is a private consultant, speaker and writer on energy policy and has presented at numerous conferences throughout the Middle East.

The Chicago native’s foray into politics began with an unpaid advisory position on the Ben Carson campaign, a gig which lasted for several months, from Nov. 2015 to Feb. 2016.

An official on that campaign told The Daily Caller on Monday that Papadopoulos was recommended to the Carson team by someone with the Hudson Institute, a conservative think tank where Papadopoulos interned several years ago. The Carson team member did not know the name of the person at Hudson who made the recommendation.

Hudson, said that Papadopoulos started as an intern there in 2011 and later provided research on a contractual basis to the group’s senior fellows. They parted ways in 2014.

Papadopoulos claims to have worked as a director for the London Centre of International Law Practice from Feb. 2016 to April 2016. He officially joined the Trump campaign in the interim, on March 21, 2016

Papadopoulos was ultimately approved by campaign co-chairman Sam Clovis to join the team.

TheDC reported in August that Papadopoulos suggested such a meeting during a March 31, 2016 meeting of the campaign’s national security advisory committee. Sources inside the meeting told The DC that Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who was chair of that committee, shot down Papadopoulos’ idea.

You can bet it was a Neocon! This is how they insert their people into campaigns.

Tucker Carlson Tonight 10/30/17 - Tucker Carlson Tonight October 30, 2017 Fox News - PAUL MANAFORT (Swalwell is nothing but a talking point Democrat in the media. Carlson called him out for his hypocrisy.)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wH_JJQjKohA

So, we have an indictment (Manafort tax issues) that has nothing to do with the Trump campaign, and a little over eager young globalist, UN influenced, Neocon influenced punk who admits he is a liar being used by Mueller?

AND MUELLER CALLS HIMSELF A PROFESSIONAL (he needs to be investigated)? WHAT A JOKE! HE IGNORES ALL THE PROOF OF A REAL SCANDAL GOING BACK YEARS, WITH CLINTON, CLINTON FOUNDATION, URANIUM ONE SCAM, THE PODESTA BROTHERS, Comey lies, ETC AND COMES UP WITH A YOUNG PUNK WHO LIES AND WAS ONLY A VOLUNTEER FOR A FEW MTHS TO THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN?

THIS STINKS TO HIGH HEAVENS! ANOTHER LEFT CREATED SHAM IN AN ATTEMPT TO ATTACK MORE TRUMP CABINET MEMBERS, AND CONTINUE DESTABILIZING THE ADMIN. THIS SHOWS THE LEFT IS DESPERATE TO STOP TRUMP REVERSING THEIR GLOBALIST AGENDA, EVEN IF THEY HAVE TO USE A YOUNG LIAR TO DO SO.

In an unsealed document released today, Papadopoulos signed a plea deal with prosecutors on Oct. 5.

This has led to more scrutiny of court filings surrounding Papadopoulos’s arrest and admitting he made false statements to the FBI earlier this year. Somebody looked closely at the documents and saw a reference to “proactive cooperator.” That is where it gets very interesting.

Jeryl Bier, a freelance writer for The Weekly Standard, pulled an excerpt from a 2001 district court filing that sheds some light:

“The term ‘proactive cooperation’ is generally understood to mean that the defendant will engage in some type of undercover work on behalf of the Government, such as wearing a wire and/or meeting face to face with persons suspected of involvement in criminal activity.”

Robert Swan Mueller III—the special prosecutor tasked to take down the President of the United States—is, as his name attests, a product of elite private schools and universities. He is uniformly and soberly praised in the national news media as incorruptible, fair-minded “honest Bob,” “strait-laced Bobby three sticks.” This image, we shall show, is a brazenly false, Washington, D.C. public relations pitch, created for the credulous.

In reality, Robert Swan Mueller III is about as corrupt as they come, bending and twisting the law every which way necessary to serve the goals of those who provide him assignments. The might of the prosecutorial function and the institutions he serves dictate right for him, rather than the unbiased pursuit of justice the law envisions for his vocation. In what he says was a defining moment, Mueller broke rank, after college, to serve in the Vietnam War as a Marine. After that he never wanted to do anything but prosecute.

His appointment as special prosecutor caps a long career in which he has envisioned himself to be a stern and willing warrior, a dutiful Marine, acting on behalf of whatever evil scheme his superiors present to him, and using whatever means seems necessary to execute it.

Mueller was nominated for the position of FBI director by George W. Bush on July 5, 2001...The confirmation vote on the Senate floor on August 2, 2001 was unanimous, 98–0.

... officially becoming the FBI director on September 4, 2001, just one week before the September 11 attacks against the United States.[8]

In recent closed-door interviews with the Senate intelligence committee, Podesta and Wasserman Schultz said they did not know who had funded Fusion GPS, the intelligence firm that hired British Intelligence Officer Christopher Steele to compile the dossier on Trump, the sources said.

Podesta was asked in his September interview whether the Clinton campaign had a contractual agreement with Fusion GPS, and he said he was not aware of one, according to one of the sources.

Sitting next to Podesta during the interview: his attorney Marc Elias, who worked for the law firm that hired Fusion GPS to continue research on Trump on behalf of the Clinton campaign and DNC, multiple sources said. Elias was only there in his capacity as Podesta's attorney and not as a witness.

On Tuesday, that law firm, Perkins Coie, wrote in a letter that it had retained Fusion GPS as part of its representation of the Clinton campaign and the DNC. The disclosure of the Democratic funding source for Fusion GPS is raising new questions for the congressional Russian investigators. The Perkins Coie letter suggested its clients -- the Clinton campaign and the DNC -- did not learn about the matter until recently.

Roger Stone said tonight on the War Room (Hr 2) 10-31-17 with Owen that he thinks George Pappadopoulos has intelligence connections. I suspect the same due to his scattered job pattern, many being internships, contract, volunteer. Very strange resume.

If he was wired, as some suspect, could he be an operative being used by Mueller, playing the fbi entrapment game?

MUELLER AND CROWD ARE SO DISHONEST! THEY ARE GETTING SLOPPY AS THEY RUSH OUT THE INDICTMENT TO CHANGE THE NEWS OFF THE REAL CRIMINALS DNC, CLINTON, CLINTON FDN, PODESTAS AND URANIUM ONE GANG!

Uranium One refers to the name of a Canada-based company with mines in the U.S. that was bought by Rosatom, a company backed by the Russian state.

The State Department, then led by Hillary Clinton, was one of nine U.S. government agencies that had to approve the deal back in 2010.

FBI Removed Reference Linking Muslim Brotherhood to Terrorism: “unsuitable in the current political context”

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch has released hundreds of pages of FBI memos and other documents revealing that, in 2012, the agency purged its anti-terrorism training curricula of material determined by an undisclosed group of “Subject Matter Experts” (SME) to be “offensive” to Muslims. The excised material included references linking the Muslim Brotherhood to terrorism, tying al Qaeda to the 1993 World Trade Center and Khobar Towers bombings, and suggesting that “young male immigrants of Middle Eastern appearance … may fit the terrorist profile best.”

Judicial Watch obtained the materials on January 15 and on April 16, 2013, pursuant to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit filed on July 18, 2012...

... Robert Mueller has been appointed special counsel to investigate if Russia influenced the 2016 presidential election it’s worth reiterating his misguided handiwork and collaboration with radical Islamist organizations as FBI director. Judicial Watch exclusively obtained droves of records back in 2013 documenting how, under Mueller’s leadership, the FBI purged all anti-terrorism training material deemed “offensive” to Muslims after secret meetings between Islamic organizations and the FBI chief. Judicial Watch had to sue to get the records and published an in-depth report on the scandal in 2013 and a lengthier, updated follow-up in 2015.

As FBI director, Mueller bent over backwards to please radical Islamist groups and caved into their demands. The agency eliminated the valuable anti-terrorism training material and curricula after Mueller met with various Islamist organizations, including those with documented ties too terrorism. Among them were two organizations— Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) and Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR)—named by the U.S. government as unindicted co-conspirators in the 2007 Holy Land Foundation terrorist financing case. CAIR is a terrorist front group with extensive links to foreign and domestic Islamists. It was founded in 1994 by three Middle Eastern extremists (Omar Ahmad, Nihad Awad and Rafeeq Jaber) who ran the American propaganda wing of Hamas, known then as the Islamic Association for Palestine.

The records obtained as part of Judicial Watch’s lawsuit show that Mueller, who served 12 years as FBI chief, met with the Islamist organizations on February 8, 2012 to hear their demands. Shortly later the director assured the Muslim groups that he had ordered the removal of presentations and curricula on Islam from FBI offices nationwide. The purge was part of a broader Islamist operation designed to influence the opinions and actions of persons, institutions, governments and the public at-large.

The records obtained by Judicial Watch also show similar incidents of Islamic influence operations at the Departments of Justice and State, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the Obama White House....Mueller’s actions have had a widespread effect because many local law enforcement agencies followed the FBI’s lead in allowing Islamic groups like CAIR to dictate what anti-terrorism material could be used to train officers.

Among them are police departments in three Illinois cities— Lombard, Elmhurst and Highland Park—as well as the New York Police Department (NYPD). In the case of the Lombard Police Department, CAIR asserted that the instructor of a training course called “Islamic Awareness as a Counter-Terrorist Strategy” was anti-Muslim though there was no evidence to support it. Like the FBI, Lombard officials got rid of the “offensive” course. The NYPD purged a highly-acclaimed report that’s proven to be a critical tool in terrorism investigations after three New York Muslims, two mosques and an Islamic nonprofit filed a lawsuit.

Considering Mueller’s role in much of this, it makes him a bizarre choice to lead the heated Russia investigation. The goal, apparently, is to determine of Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election and if President Donald Trump’s campaign colluded with Russian officials.

In the Justice Department announcement, Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein describes Mueller as person who qualifies to lead the probe because he exercises a degree of independence from the normal chain of command. “Special Counsel Mueller will have all appropriate resources to conduct a thorough and complete investigation, and I am confident that he will follow the facts, apply the law and reach a just result,” according to Rosenstein.

Wow great article, good job; it's like I have been say Islam is a secret society and this is just one more proof.

Desperate Obama cronies had figured out that they could bypass many of the limitations on the conventional investigations of their political opponents by ‘laundering’ them through national security.

The spying ramped up after Trump’s win when the results could no longer be used to engineer a Hillary victory, but would instead have to be used to cripple and bring down President Trump. Headed out the door, Rice was still unmasking the names of Trump’s people while Obama was making it easier to pass around raw eavesdropped data to other agencies.

Obama had switched from spying on a political opponent to win an election, to spying on his successor to undo the results of the election. Abuse of power by a sitting government had become subversion of the government by an outgoing administration. Domestic spying on opponents had become a coup.
